The Situation

Metro Custom Plastics was established in Arlington, Texas in 1972. From its inception, its goal was to establish a target market and outperform its competitors in this market.

The Solution

Metro Custom Plastics decided to partner with TMAC, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Manufacturing Extension Partnership affiliate in Texas for support in improving its processes to achieve a competitive edge.

Metro’s partnership with TMAC began in 2007. Since then, Metro Custom Plastics has:

Requested other services such as translated training, a safety gap assessment, an E3 Assessment and training to focus personnel on Energy, Environment and Efficiency Improvements.

The Results

Production improvement from implementing Lean Manufacturing has increased Metro’s capacity, productivity and profitability. Implementing a Quality Management System has established a systematic business process. Metro Custom Plastic is laser focused on customers; customer satisfaction is excellent and it remains very cost competitive.
